Netting seems like a good idea. Honestly, you have to ask what kind of moron would design the track the way they did. The way he got tossed into the pillars, I can easily see it happening again. All you have to do is misjudge that turn, hit the wall and go flying.

Well I can understand back in the days of gladiators and public executions that people wouldn't have an issue viewing this, but I thought we left all that behind. Are we ok with de-volving back to that because we have cameras everywhere, and the internet? Just because something can be shown doesn't mean it should be. This person had a life, has a family, and should be given some respect. His death should'nt be used to fulfill some type of collective morbid curiosity, or to garner shock attention in an attempt to grab ratings.
